Pravda, v Starom zákone ani samému prorokovi nebol jasný celý dosah názvu "mocný Boh". Izaiáš vedel len toľko, že v Dieťati-Mesiášovi sa akýmsi neobyčajným spôsobom zjaví Boh. Ako väčšina proroctiev i toto sa stalo celkom jasným len po splnení. My, ktorým už bolo zjavené tajomstvo Najsvätejšej Trojice, vieme, že Emanuel je druhá božská osoba. Kráľovstvo, ktoré založí, bude len pokračovaním starozákonnej bohovlády, ale bude mať večné trvanie.
